Hi, CVS Server : 1.11.1p1, Linux RH 7.2 Clients : WinCVS (w/full TCL shell enabled).
I've replaced the CVS server entry in xinetd with my own script which, for now, simply handles the parameter passing to CVS. I would like the various CVS repositories to be offline (most probably one at a time) while I'm doing the box's backup.The backup script puts a lock in a certain place and the my script run from xinetd knows what each flag means. When a client wants to perform an operation on one of the repositories which are being backed up at the moment, the script from xinetd will block access to it,but I would like to send back a more descriptive error, something like 'This repository xxxxx is being backed up right now. Please try again in 30 minutes'. I've tried a simple echo 'msg' exit 1 and echo 'msg' >/dev/stderr exit 1 but I just get in the client: cvs [login aborted]: recv() from server cvs.au.office.aol.com: Connection reset by peer *****CVS exited normally with code 1***** Does anybody know where can I find a pointer to the proper way of doing this? Thanks in advance, Beto _______________________________________________ Info-cvs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-cvs
